Let us take care of everything
Christmas Menus
A thousand-year-old inn takes its feasting seriously. Our kitchen has created festive menus rooted in the season's finest — comforting classics, generous roasts and indulgences worthy of the setting.
Throughout December, The Porch House hosts festive lunches and dinners beneath the beams — from family gatherings to celebrations with friends and colleagues, every table warmed by a real fire.
And on Christmas Day itself, take your place in a very long tradition. We'll serve a full festive feast with all the trimmings, from elegant starters to puddings that end the meal properly — all you have to do is arrive.
Few places in the Cotswolds are as sought-after in December, so book your table early to be part of it.
Christmas Getaways in the Cotswolds
There are hotel stays, and then there's a night at England's oldest inn. Our rooms are open right through the festive season — the perfect base if you're visiting family and friends around Stow this Christmas, or simply want to wake up somewhere with a millennium of stories in its walls. And if you're staying with us over Christmas itself, you're warmly invited to join us in the restaurant for Christmas Day — just book your table when you book your room.
Stay for Christmas
Party & Private Dining Spaces
For celebrations that call for something special, few settings compare. For larger parties and festive get-togethers, we can reserve areas of The Porch House just for you — centuries of atmosphere, seasonal menus and your own corner of history. Tell us what you're planning and we'll take care of the rest.
